This is my VERY first Fic Writing year-end round-up and I'm really thankful to anyone who's ever read my fics and grateful to all the amazing friends that I have made due to writing fanfiction. It's truly been one of the best things that this year has brought me 💖

🌟The Princess Question (1.1K | General)

Henry and Alex talk about princes and princesses with their daughter. She comes to some interesting conclusions.

Alex crashes his cart into Henry at the grocery store, causing a BIg realization.

MARCH

Alex and Henry play Truth or Dare. They both come out winners.

Inspired in part by geonBAEeee's art. Henry and Alex, now living in the Brownstone, celebrate Henry's birthday.

🌟Kiss and Tell (2.7K | Teen)

Inspired by @everwitch-magiks, a Kissing Booth AU of a Kissing Booth AU.

Henry Fox wears friendship bracelets and Alex wants one too. Inspired by a post by @yrsdiaz and the Red, White and Royally Old group chat.

Henry helps Alex celebrate his birthday with champagne, a cupcake with buttercream frosting and a blowjob (a missing scene from CMQ's novel).

APRIL

Henry is putting his daughter to sleep with a bedtime story and Alex falls asleep too. Inspired by hn @shitsidrew on Twitter.

Henry and Alex ended things. But a few years later, Henry came out and abdicated. He moved to New York City to start a new life.

MAY

Henry's POV of the Storming of Kensington and the V & A scene.

JUNE

Henry uses a condom as a bookmark but Alex finds a better use for it. Inspired by a tweet from mari @undrthe_figtree.

🌟cross your thoughtless heart (1.1K | General)

It’s a normal, ordinary Tuesday when Alex finally has the realization. He isn’t really sure how it began or when it started, but one random Tuesday, when he’s at work, he finally notices. Henry has been packing him lunches.

JULY

Henry works up the courage to get Alex to sign his yearbook. It's the beginning of a summer romance...but what will happen in the fall? Inspired by Poms (@princebambiuk on Twitter).

His witness is unable to visually identify a suspect from the line up, so Detective Alexander Claremont-Diaz uses an unconventional method to pinpoint the perp. Inspired by Brooklyn 99.

🌟you kiss me (it stops time) (1.3K | Teen)

Alex and Henry are shoved in a closet for Seven Minutes in Heaven.

Alex moves to London and gets a UK phone number. It just so happens to be the old phone number of Arthur Fox. Every holiday, anniversary, or important day ever. Henry texts that number because it’s been vacant since his dad died. (a rizcriz prompt)

🌟Whisk-y Business (2.2K | Explicit)

Henry attempts to make a quiche. Alex is a little...distracting OR a fic based on @0npurpose's prompt "Take one more step and I can't be held accountable for my actions." (Part of Summer Switcheroo exchange)

🌟save a horse (600 | General)

Inspired by a tumblr post from @rockingtheorange, Henry and Alex meet at a karaoke bar (a short drabble).

SEPTEMBER

Alex and Henry have a Kissing Bet.

OCTOBER

🌟my beloved ghost (and me) (2.1K | General)

Alex is not crazy or insane, but he’s pretty sure that his apartment is haunted.

It’s a new development. Only in the last couple of days has he felt like he’s not alone, like there’s another presence in the apartment with him when he’s supposed to be by himself.

He has acquired a ghost, somehow. It’s the only explanation that makes sense.

🌟Talk Turkey to Me (1.5 | General)

Henry teases Alex about The Great Turkey Calamity.

🌟hooked on you (2.1K | General)

What he really needs is a distraction - something to get his mind off of how it feels like they are driving over large potholes in the sky. Something that takes all of his focus so he’s not thinking about all the ways he could die in this flimsy held-together-with-duct-tape-and-dreams bucket too many feet away from the sweet, safe and reliable ground beneath his feet.

Alex is running through a list of possible distractions when the ball of yarn hits him on the foot. Inspired by a post by CMQ during their travels for The Pairing book tour.

NOVEMBER

Alex freezes, hands clenched at his side. The hair on the back of his neck stands up. “Wait,” he says slowly. “Are you telling me that I am not alone on the ship?”

His mother’s voice hums. Even though she’s not here, Alex feels like he can almost see her small smile. It was the same look that she gave him when she was helping him with his homework when he was little, and he got the answer right.

“Yes, Alex,” OS answers. “You are not alone.” A Darkness Outside Us AU.

DECEMBER

Another caketastrophe, a few misunderstandings and OPERATION ONE BED.

A collection of drabbles inspired by my Spotify Wrapped.

Alex has had a long and storied love of Christmas trees and by extension, Christmas tree decorating. There’s a science to it. A method to the madness for maximum Christmas spirit and festivity.

Whatever Henry is doing? Well, it’s not it. It’s not even close.

OR Alex helps Henry decorate a Christmas tree and learns something new in the process.

He plans to say something sweet perhaps, or at least something less abrupt and awkward. But like always, his mouth moves faster than his brain and he ends up blurting out “Do you think anyone actually knows what fun it is to ride a one horse open sleigh, or are we all just taking their word for it?”

Henry lifts his head up, and looks at Alex, fighting a smile. Alex can see the laughter in his eyes.

OR Operation One Bed continues when Alex and Henry go for a winter sleigh ride.

Alex has a proposal plan that doesn't, well, go according to plan.

🌟kiss me at midnight (4.8K | Teen)

Henry hates New Year's Eve, until he doesn't.

WIPs & UPCOMING FICS

🌟grab my hand (don't ever drop it) (36K | 6/? chapters | Mature)

This is a The Charm Offensive AU - Alex is a producer on a reality dating show where Henry is a reluctant Prince Charming who's dating a large group of women. When true love happens, it doesn’t always follow a script.

I WILL NEVER ABANDON THIS but I lost a little motivation for it. Finishing this fic is one of my goals for 2025.

🌟I have a few other things in mind and I have an upcoming fic for the Wrap It Up exchange. Looking forward to seeing how much I can improve as a writer and where writing takes me in the next year. Thank you all for your support and words of cheer because they really do encourage me!

If you have not been tagged, please use this as an open one and I will also tag a few people that I don't think I've seen fic round-ups from (no pressure):

Alex is in a relationship with Nora, Alex realises he's bi, Alex meets Henry.

This is a belated birthday present for ACD, who teaches me more about myself every day.

Alex is watching a movie when it hits him. Like a fucking freight train. When he sees flashes of toned abs and strong muscular hands on the screen, he turns to Nora and says, “I think I'm bi.” She doesn’t even look at him, just hums in agreement, too fixated on the shirtless man on the TV to comment. He looks back at the screen, at some actor saving the world from disaster, his well-defined torso covered in sweat and oil — and, Alex suddenly wishes, his tongue. He thinks back to those nights in high school, crawling through his best friend's window late at night so they could watch porn together. A very heterosexual activity, he thought at the time. Thinks of that night Alex had reached his hand over, just in case Liam needed some extra help. He did, and then he did again the next night. And the night after that. He thinks of that time he downloaded Grindr but uninstalled the app before he registered an account. Thinks of all the incognito tabs he's opened and closed in his life, looking for proof or evidence or a fucking answer to a question he doesn’t know he’s been asking. Afraid of what that answer might be if he actually goes searching for it, what it might mean or change or rearrange in his life. But there’s no search history in incognito mode.

❤️

📢The first story to emerge from my collab with the fabulous and talented @orchidscript, SparkleScript Do Emotional Damage, is now COMPLETE and safe to marathon!

by @orchidscript and @sparklepocalypse M | 47,460 words | Alex/Henry | movie and bookverse, smooshed

There’s a man in Henry’s bedroom. That, itself, isn’t noteworthy. He’s become rather proficient at smuggling men in and out of his room at Kensington Palace and his first-year flat at Oxford. It’s not even especially noteworthy that the man is quite arresting. For better or worse, Henry’s title and reputation tend to help him pull gorgeous men with somewhat astonishing frequency. This man is, of course, particularly gorgeous. He’s tall, with olive skin, dark hair, and a bone structure that would send the old masters into a frenzy of pigments, linseed oil, and canvas. But, perhaps, the most noteworthy thing is that the man in Henry’s bedroom is quickly and awkwardly wiping his eyes with the backs of his hands. That he seems just as surprised to see Henry as Henry is to see him.

Or, the handwavey, time-travelly, astral-projectiony, canon-smooshy AU nobody asked for, but we're giving it to you anyway.

Thank you for the tags @dizzymiss-lizzie and @run-for-chamo-miles !

I've started writing a fic where Alex and Henry have sex...as fanfiction research...

The silence that fell when Henry was contemplating this seismic shift in his worldview has been hanging between them for too long. It’s obviously ratcheted up Alex’s nervous energy because his knee has started bouncing up and down again. Without the paper in his hands, his fingers fidget and pull on a loose thread in the jogging pants he’s wearing. Alex opens his mouth to speak but this time, Henry interrupts him.
“Alright,” Henry says. 
Alex shuts his mouth with a click and stares at Henry. “What?”
Henry puts the paper down on the coffee table and turns to face Alex, leaning against the armrest. “Okay, I will have sex with you,” he replies. “For fanfiction research.” 
“You will?” Alex turns, eyes wide and unblinking, like he’s not sure that he heard Henry right.
“I will,” Henry nods. “But I’d like to make a couple of requests first.”

Six Sentence Sunday

Thanks for the tags, @noblecorgi, @anincompletelist, and everyone who tagged me on Wednesday! <3

Oh my goodness. Much to report, dears. My brain is spinning right now—I had a jam-packed week and weekend, but I hope things will calm down from here on out. We’ll see.

First, I posted a fic for Trans Day of Visibility last Monday! It’s full of fluff and romance and friendship. All the kind comments left on it this week have truly meant a lot 🩷🤍🩵

Second, I finished parent!Simon??? Sorry to those who saw me on their dash all weekend in a frenzy about it. I’m really excited to have reached the end, and also in denial that it’s over, and also proud of myself, and… yeah. Lots happening.

Important thing is that you can read chapter eleven here.

And, six sentences of that very chapter, which I literally wrote this afternoon:

“We’re one day in.” I tap my fingers against the steering wheel, turning to look at Baz. “Next thing I know, she’s gonna be asking you to proofread her résumé.”

Baz scoffs. “No one is going to hire an eight-year-old child. The HSE would be rather cross with us.”

“I was using a hyperbole, babe.” Baz raises a single, unimpressed eyebrow at me. “What? Wait, when I actually know things about literary devices, does that do it for you?”

“If that were the case, it’d be the shortest foreplay in recorded history.”

“Oooh, subjunctive.”

He finishes rolling down the window before narrowing his eyes at me. “I have so many questions, Snow.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHIMSY

it is @whimsymanaged's birthday and well here is a silly lil fic that i wrote especially for her

When he hears it, Alex is minding his own business, pouring yet another cup of coffee in the breakroom. “It’s seriously smut with the Microsoft paperclip, and people have actually read it, I guess.” “What?!” The words are so absurd that they practically grab Alex by the collar, and he can’t help but turn and join the conversation. “Clippy? That annoying damn paperclip has smut written for him? Is this what my ao3 tag is competing with these days?” or the Alex finds out about Clippy smut and can't resist sharing with Henry none of us but Whimsy knew we wanted

thanks @miharaikko & @kj-bee for making sure it was the right amount of silly

Six Sentence Sunday

Thanks for the tags, @that-disabled-princess, @tailsbeth-writes, @roomwithanopenfire, @artsyunderstudy, and @zwiazdziarka! Great to see what y’all are creating!

I had a relaxing and rejuvenating week, which I’m very thankful for. It’s finally getting warmer where I am, and I got to get my spring/summer clothes out of storage—which is always so exciting to me. And it’s raining today, my favorite weather! So all in all, doing well. 

First, a snippet of a RWRB fic I just started today!

A for effort, sweetheart,” Alex teases, plating their breakfasts. He eyes the coffee-gone-haywire with some suspicion. “...Respectfully, is there anything you can make?”

Henry huffs. “Black tea.”

“Make two mugs, then.” Alex isn’t a huge fan of tea, but Henry seems buoyed by the opportunity to provide something edible. 

They make buttered toast to go with their eggs and Alex dutifully sips his Earl Gray. They chat about family recipes and other superficial food-related topics. Henry’s nails shine lime green."

That last bit is relevant, I promise, but I don’t want to spoil too much! This should be posted soon, cause I’m feeling hyped.

Carry On TDOV and tags under the cut!

Several!! Sentences Sunday

Hello! Thank you for the tags @dezinthecloud @sophie1973 and @miharaikko! It's been a little bit since I have written anything new for the TCO AU, but I finally managed some words today so I thought that I would share.

Henry and Alex are in New Orleans for the first travel stop for Ever After, and are getting ready for a night out (it's tradition!).

“Well, Henry, what do you generally do on a night out with your friends? I want to hook up tonight and I need to look good.” There’s a choking sound from behind him but Alex doesn’t turn around to look at Henry. He needs to focus on the reason that he’s here; looking attractive enough that he can meet someone, hook up and get this pent up sexual energy out of his system. He continues to look through Henry’s clothes, frowning at the collection of soft cashmere sweaters in varying shades of grey and blue button-ups. “Has anyone ever told you that grey is boring?” Alex asks, continuing his search for the perfect shirt. “You could try an actual colour. Like this blue.” He pulls out a shirt to show to Henry. “This blue really brings out the colour of your eyes.” He turns back to the closet and puts the shirt back. Fuck, why did he say that? There’s a slight creak from the bed as Henry sits down and a clearing of Henry’s throat. “Yes, well, grey is a colour. But thank you for the compliment?” The pitch of Henry’s voice raises a bit at the end and sounds a little strangled. “Anytime, dude,” Alex grimaces, glad he’s facing into the closet where Henry can’t see his face. He’s trying to play it off like he didn’t just admit to noticing Henry’s eyes, for fuck’s sake. He’s hopeless. And he needs to get laid yesterday.

Please take this a wide open tag if you haven't had the chance to partake in Seven (or Several) Sentence Sunday!

Sunday Sentences - intro to Dragon Alex

okay kiddies so we're bringing dragon alex out to the world - even though he's got lots of writing left to happen - it's gonna be a crazy, possibly crack-y in spots, smutty, and also sweet fairytale

so far it's been lots of plotting and off the wall conversations and an outline is almost done and i've got a chunk of illustrations in progress cuz what fairytale is complete without illustrations) but we'll be getting to more writing soon so i guess we're bringing him out here so i can ramble at all of you about him too lolz

so have some bits of some of those illustrations and some words form what is written

In a far away kingdom, there lives a dragon named Alex, he is the most beautiful bronze dragon in all the land. Which is saying something when he lives in a land where emerald forests abound and the rivers glitter like molten silver, and the dragons are all just as beautiful. Alex’s scales are a thing he is especially proud of; they gleam as if freshly polished always, and ripple as they catch the sunlight when he soars through the sky. He’s admired by all for his beauty, even the humans of the surrounding kingdoms, but only from afar, up close is a different story.  To Alex’s dismay, so few people ever see past the scary dragon that they think he is. He hears the whispers and sees eyes darting to the mountains where his lair is every time he takes his human form and visits the cities and towns. The stories he hears them tell are of terror and a beast with talons and fire, even though Alex can’t remember the last time he used his fire outside his lair. He finds it quite useful when he’s looking to forge new walls or tunnels in his mountains. He never corrects their tales, finding it easier to let them tremble at the thought of him. He’s often heard the only safe dragon might just be a feared one, so at least our dragon has that going for him. Until, one day, when he’s out gliding over his favorite meadow, the dragon stumbles upon a prince with flaxen hair and the most beautiful features. He stands amongst the wildflowers, and though they usually are the most beautiful thing Alex has seen, today they have competition. Alex can tell the man is a prince, by his fine tunic and the kind of features that are so finely sculpted, as if by an artist, that they can only come from royal blood.

Several Sentence Sunday

Thank you to @onthewaytosomewhere, @sophie1973 and @theprinceandagcd for the recent tags.

I haven't had anything to share lately, but I did start to work on something this weekend. It will be a mix of an old idea I've been mulling over for a while and my 4 prompts from the 100ILY challenge.

I like to snuggle close to my boyfriend on the couch and creepily whisper 'couch boyfriend' until I annoy him. So I thought why not have Alex and Henry do that too, while they show their love through small gestures.

They don't start out as boyfriends, tho...
